What I’d say is that the individual skills involved in knitting socks aren’t very advanced, and a beginner could pick them up quite quickly. But because socks are so small and fiddly, they’re not a great project to learn those skills on, if that makes sense? You’d be better off learning on a chunkier project like a hat, and then transferring the skills to socks from there.
If you do decide to give it a go though we’re always up for a bit of enabling over on !knitting@lemmy.world (it is currently the much-anticipated “sock month”, hence the timing of my post!). Join usssssss 😉

Oof. Socks are generally not considered a beginner’s project, I’m afraid. Turning the heel and stitching the toe together at the end are easier done once you have a bit of comfort with what you’re doing. You don’t have to be an expert, though; even a couple of dishcloths could get you well on your way.
